Customer Review: Loved my machine - why’d it stop working today after only 9 months?
My husband and I registered for this at Crate & Barrel and have been thrilled with it for 9 months now. I did immediately notice, however, that the carafe is made from very thin glass and was always scared I would break it. Other than that, the only problem I had with it was when pouring a cup of coffee, 9 times out of 10 it would leak over the sides and onto the counter if you didn’t pour very slowly and sometimes even that didn’t help. I just made a mental note that our next machine might be an upgrade from Krups or something like that, but still LOVED this machine. Imagine my horror when today, after our morning pot of coffee, it just completely stopped working! I unplugged it, changed outlets, nothing. The led display is just dead. The machine is dead. I’ve checked it every hour or so today. Nada. After doing some research online, I now see that is a common theme with this machine among people who’ve had it a while (the earliest I read of it happening was 5 months). I descaled it with vinegar every 3 months or so. Nothing in the manual addresses this situation. So, here I sit with a cup of Starbucks, writing this review. Starbucks just doesn’t measure up anymore to having my fresh ground Kona coffee and espresso (not to mention lattes and cappuccinos!) each day….very disappointed.
Customer Review: Was Fine While it Worked ……
I must echo the comments in previous reviews. This is a fine machine at first — does the job and does it well — but the instructions were very complicated, the pot is poorly designed & you end up pouring just as much coffee on the counter as you do in your cup, and after 4 months of use, mine just stopped working. I really thought this $300 machine would be the last coffee maker I would have to purchase for awhile considering my $50.00 “Mr Coffee” machine worked for 5 years and is now being used as my “backup” while I try to get a resolution with Krups. (Thank goodness I decided to hold onto it!!)
Think twice before sinking so much money into this product.
